Question 10 • 26-27 LISD TX-Physics B-CR (rev. 5/25)

A ray diagram shows the ray passing from medium 1 to medium 2. After passing into medium 2, the ray bends away from the normal.

Answer
A
reflection with scattering in a medium
B
reflection without scattering in a medium
C
refraction with medium 1 denser than medium 2
D
refraction with medium 1 less dense than medium 2

Explanation

When light passes from one medium into another, bending away from the normal means it enters a less optically dense medium. So medium 1 is denser than medium 2, which is refraction described by choice C.
